Pretty sweet but a little ableist.
I liked the main characters and their friends and a couple family members. the actual romance was very sweet. The ableism part was only for a small percentage so I still enjoyed it. See spoilers for ableism discussion.
Spoilers:
So the hero has a secret dad because the dad had a traumatic brain injury that made him intellectually disabled, and his whole family treated him like a child, which is not how disabled people of any kind should be treated. The book did not challenge this in any way, probably because it is very common for able bodied and minded people to think that this is fine.
